Dear Mike

I wonder if this example below will help. It has four columns named a b c and d, corresponding to the four frequencies you describe. I rename them to v1 v2 v3 v4, and reshape them to a long format. I then create the variable -event- and -trt- to correspond to event and treatment, and then use -tab- to create the fishers exact tests, and add -bysort id- to do this separately for each study.

  I hope this helps.

clear
input id a b c d
1 5 9 3 5
2 1 5 3 7
3 2 9 4 3
end

rename a v1
rename b v2
rename c v3
rename d v4

reshape long v, i(id) j(condition)
generate event = 1 if inlist(condition,1,2)
replace  event = 0 if inlist(condition,3,4)
generate trt   = 1 if inlist(condition,1,3)
replace  trt   = 0 if inlist(condition,2,4)

bysort id: tab event trt [fw=v], exact

Hello all,

I would like to calculate a two-sided Fisher's exact test for many studies
in one data set and record the test value in a new column (or file). The
information from the two-by-two table occupies one row for each study (col 1
= treatment events, col 2 = control events, col 3 = treatment non-events,
col 4 = control non-events). Does anyone know of an existing Stata procedure
that can accommodate this?

Thanks for considering,
Mike
